Modernity And Plato
Modernity's break with the Middle Ages is distinguished by a comprehensive turn to a world of individual empirical experience a turn that was a repudiation of Plato's idea that there is a reality of rationality and intellect. Yet already in the Renaissance it was no longer thought necessary to seriously confront the old" concept of rationality that emanates from Plato. Arbogast Schmitt's book sets itself this until-now-unfulfilled task comparing the arguments for a life based on theory and one based on praxis in order to provide a balance sheet of profit and loss. Showing that the Enlightenment did not as often assumed discover rationality but instead a different concept of rationality the book opens one's view to other forms of rationality and new possibilities of reconciliation with
one's own - that is Western - history. Modernity and Plato was hailed upon its publication in Germany (2003 revised 2008) as "one of the most important philosophy books of the past few years " as "a book that belongs without any doubt in the great tradition of German philosophy " and as "a provocative thesis on the antiquity-modernity debate." It is a major contribution to synthetic philosophy and philosophical historiography in English for the first time. Arbogast Schmitt is Honorary Professor at the Institute for Greek and Latin Philology at Free University Berlin and Emeritus Professor of Classical Philology and Greek at the University of Marburg Germany. Vishwa Adluri teaches in the Departments of Religion and Philosophy at Hunter College City University of New York."
